*WARNING – SPOILERS FOLLOW*

After a stop-in with the Savaii tribe that has Jim and Cochran forming an alliance to counter the bond that Ozzy and Elyse have from swinging in a hammock together, we pay a visit to Upolu where Brandon is apologizing profusely for having a breakdown and going nuclear on his other tribe-mates.

After getting that out of the way, we’re off to Redemption Island where Christine now has to face Mark, aka. “Papa Bear” – who was  – in a crazy game of bean bag toss.

Before the duel, Brandon apologizes to Christine for “ruthlessly” playing the game and Christine accepts, but leaves it a big question whether she truly believes him to be sorry for his actions.

Our heroine jumps out to an early lead but Mark catches up, but it isn’t enough as Papa Bear is sent packing.

Following a brief interlude where Ozzy and Cochran try to bring Dawn into their alliance, we get into challenge mode where two men and two women from each tribe have to remain standing while increasing amounts of weight are piled onto their shoulders. Dawn and Stacey are the only ones remaining and Dawn manages to remain standing the longest for Savaii.

At tribal council, Stacey is the only one who isn’t part of an alliance and like clockwork she’s gone, with everyone voting her out while she cast her vote for Edna, leaving without saying goodbye and getting her torch extinguished.
